I was extremely proud today because I learned that my father was the LASO Deputy Sheriff that caught Officer Acuna’s killer. I was only 7 but I still remember how proud he was on that day. I had no idea of the officers name but I knew he had caught a “really bad guy”. I was only 7 when my pop arrested the dirt bag. I just pray that his family was able move on and have productive lives.
